Several old favourites line-up for this sprint but the ground may have turned against a few of them, including Embour and Cowboy Soldier, while Jabbarockie is now on a career-high mark having picked up a penalty for his win at Newmarket. Camacho Chief was staying on over 6f at Newcastle but there are possibilities about course and distance winners Lahore and ORVAR. The latter looks better handicapped than stablemate Tanasoq and goes well here. Stake Acclaim is usually thereabouts but Danzan is having a first run for Tim Easterby and hasn’t won on Turf since 2017.
